Serving Portland & Southern Maine

From the Old Port to Back Cove, from the peninsula to suburban corridors along US-1 and I-295, our headquarters team provides fast, local service throughout the region, including (but not limited to): Portland, Falmouth, South Portland, Westbrook, Scarborough, Cape Elizabeth, Gorham, Windham, Cumberland, Yarmouth, Freeport, Saco, Old Orchard Beach, Biddeford, Kennebunk, and every Southern Maine community.

What We Install & Support

  • Security systems — modern intrusion alarms with professional monitoring, mobile app control, and user management.
  • Fire alarm systems — detection, notification, inspections, testing, and code-compliant documentation.
  • Security cameras — indoor/outdoor solutions, doorbell cameras, analytics, and video verification workflows.
  • Access control — readers, locks, schedules, and audits for offices, retail, and multi-site facilities.
  • Upgrades & takeovers — migrate viable equipment where possible; add smart features without starting from scratch.

Smart control & compatibility: We integrate with leading platforms (e.g., Alarm.com) and work with panels from brands such as Qolsys, DSC, and Honeywell/Resideo—so you can manage arming, video, and automation in one app with reliable dual-path communications.

Commercial Fire Alarms in Portland, ME

Commercial fire protection is a core focus for our Portland market. We design, install, monitor, and inspect code-compliant fire alarm systems for thousands of businesses across the city—from offices and restaurants to healthcare, multifamily, retail, and light industrial. Our team works with proven platforms, including Fire-Lite, Silent Knight, and Potter, and handles the full lifecycle: engineered drawings, permitting, device layout, programming, acceptance testing, and ongoing service. With 24/7 professional monitoring and fast local response, we keep your system ready when it matters most.

Portland’s fire codes are among the most stringent in Maine, and we specialize in navigating the City’s requirements alongside NFPA 72 and related standards. We’re approved by the City of Portland to work on fire alarm systems, and our technicians are NICET II and IPSI II trained to perform inspections, sensitivity testing, and documentation, the right way. Expect clean installs, clear deficiency reports, on-schedule testing, and properly completed Records of Completion and inspection paperwork—so you can pass AHJ reviews with confidence and keep your people and property protected.
